Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups fresh raspberries divided
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8-16 Lady Finger cookies (or vanilla wafers) optional

Instructions

  1. Place all but 16 raspberries into a bowl and sprinkle with the granulated sugar and water. Let sit for 20 minutes.

  2. While the raspberries sit, make the whipping cream in a mixing bowl by beating the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until peaks form.

  3. After the 20 minutes have passed stir and mash the raspberries, sugar and water until the water is incorporated.

  4. Fold half of this raspberry mixture into the prepared whipping cream-fold two times using a rubber spatula.

  5. Add remaining raspberry mixture and fold one to two more times-do not over mix.

  6. Divide between 8 dessert cups, top with either: crushed lady fingers or serve them on the side.

  7. Place two fresh raspberries on top of each dessert cup to garnish.

  8. Serve immediately and Enjoy!

  9. Note: if not serving immediately, refrigerate dessert cups with raspberry mixture. Top with Lady Finger cookies and reserved raspberries when ready to serve.
